LMT Internet

4G is the fourth generation Internet network that is based on the LTE Internet technology. Internet speed in a 4G network is several times higher than even theoretically possible in a 3G network (theoretical download speed of 150 Mbit/s, upload speed of up to 50 Mbit/s), it is also more stable and has a significantly shorter latency period (time from the activation of an Internet link to the beginning of a download). 4G can be compared to a new highway built along several narrow streets. 4G will be able to meet the demands of all users, offering fast downloading, high resolution video streaming, impeccable gaming performance in real time, etc. LMT 4G network continuously expands and is currently available in most areas of Latvia. Check our coverage map for the current 4G coverage.

What is 4G+?

LMT offers 4G+ technology that is able to increase the already high speed of LMT 4G Internet on mobile phones almost twofold. Actual speed depends on the location, number of users per base station and other factors. 4G+ is not subject to any additional charges.

What is the difference between dial-up, 2G, 3G, 4G and 4G+?

Dial-up is the first generation Internet that uses calls instead of packets to transfer data. Very slow, considering modern requirements – only up to 9.6 Kbit/s. Dial-up uses the LMT communications network that covers 98% of Latvia.

2G is the second generation Internet that uses GPRS and EDGE technologies. Unlike dial-up, this technology uses packets to send data, though the speed is still too low for current requirements (up to 236 Kbit/s). LMT 2G network is available in 98% of Latvia.

3G is the third generation Internet that relies on UMTS or W-CDMA, HSPA and HSPA+ technologies. Like 2G, 3G also uses packets to send data though the speed is much higher – up to 21 Mbit/s. LMT has the largest 3G network in Latvia – it is available in 93% of the Latvian territory.4G is the fourth generation Internet that is based on the LTE Internet technology. Internet speed in a 4G network is several times higher than the maximum possible in a 3G network (download speed of 150 Mbit/s, upload speed of up to 50 Mbit/s), it is also more stable and has a significantly shorter latency period (time from the activation of an Internet link to the beginning of a download). 4G can be compared to a new highway built along several narrow streets. 4G will be able to meet the demands of all users, offering fast downloading, high resolution video streaming, impeccable gaming performance in real time, etc.4G+ technology is able to increase the already high speed of LMT 4G Internet on mobile phones almost twofold. Actual speed depends on the location, number of users per base station and other factors.

Currently, LMT 4G+ is available in Riga and its metropolitan area – Jūrmala, Ulbroka, Sigulda, Garkalne, as well as in the largest Latvian towns – Liepāja, Daugavpils, Jelgava, etc. If you would like to find out whether 4G+ is available at your location, please send a question to info@lmt.lv.

What is the actual speed of LMT 4G?

LMT 4G relies on the advanced LTE technology that can provide for a theoretical download speed of up to 150 Mbit/s and upload speed of up to 50 MBit/s. But in practice this speed is lower and is not guaranteed due to various technical, physical, geographical and other factors (distance to the base station, surrounding buildings, design of buildings, etc.). If the network is not overloaded, the average 4G speed should be available.Internet speed gauge is available here.
